-## Objective Morality

-Everyone is allowed to do whatever they'd like ***if not causing harm to others***.

-This means that you may not:

-    : *theft of life*
-- **assault**
-    : *theft of health or physical vitality*
-- **rape**
-    : *theft of sexual choice*
-- **steal**

-## "Sovereign Citizens", State Citizenship, etc.
-
-There is no such thing as being both Sovereign and a `citizen`. It is an oxymoron.
-
-A citizen is one who is externally ruled by man's law.
-Beings who have given up their free will and follow the will of others.
-
-Sovereignty is the state of having no rulers.
-It can only be acquired by taking full responsibility for your actions,
-preventing any harm from being caused and accepting fault when it occurs.
-Natural Law is all which applies to these beings.
-
-Engaging in more paperwork with state entities only changes your relationship with them;
-there is no true opt out.
-If interested in investigating these routes, here are some resources you may find helpful.
-
-```

-```
-
-## Government Contracts
-
-If still participating in state systems, these are the bare minimum needed to exist without harassment:
-
-- `driver's license`
-- vehicle `plates` and `tags`
-- `auto insurance`
-
-It is also recommended to keep your `birth certificate` around for renewing these permits.
-
-`tax returns`
-
-- If still working a `W-2` job or similar, it is important to do these as usual in order to prevent theft of property ("repossession") or kidnapping ("imprisonment").
-- If not, filling out the forms is still recommended, just giving a 0 in all fields related to income.
-- Some opt for "sovereign" methods of `tax` withdrawal such as the `W8-BEN`, etc.
-    - If using these methods ***please do thorough research before acting*** and be prepared for `lawsuits`.
-
-### DO NOT SIGN
-
-`marriage certificate`
-- Love your partner enough to not involve state entities.
-- Use private contracts if wanting to make arrangements regarding joint ownership.
-- Weddings, surname changes, and other common ceremonies/rituals are completely acceptable.
-
-`food stamps` & `free health care`
-- Relying on state systems for aid gives authenticity to a corrupt model.
-- Work with local food banks, cash-based medical facilities, churches and temples, or other private systems if in need of assistance.
-- Living a healthy lifestyle is cheap and easy! Keep your body in top condition and out of the "healthcare" system. It is possible to reverse and heal chronic disease and pains.

-### Optional
-
-`passport`
-- There are many ways being taught on how to do this is a "sovereign" way.
-- Some prefer to do things normally as to not make themselves more of a target.
-
-`selective services`
-- Most fill this out without knowing what it is since it is so heavily coerced.
-- Some Christian groups, such as the [TBD/TODO], prefer to be temporarily kidnapped ("incarcerated").

-## No Masters No Slaves
-
-Many may not realize that they are actively perpetuating the false existence of hierarchies.
-
-No one is any different than another.
-A `president` of a `country` or `CEO` of a `corporation` is no more or less powerful than the local gas station clerk, a fast food employee, or your own best friend.
-
-Learn to treat all beings with respect, whether it be at home, the workplace, on vacation, and even your dinner plate.
-
-## Order Followers
-
-The boots on the ground in a violent society is `law enforcement`, also known as `police` and `military`.
-
-Participating in these positions accumulates bad karma by giving up free will and acting against Objective Morality.
-Enforcing victimless crimes causes harm and is violent.
-
-If you or a loved one is a participant, please consider leaving this system of abuse and learning proper mediation techniques.

-## The Legitimacy of the 'state' is an Illusion
-
-The only reason the `state` can do what it does and gets away with it is because people give it their power and don't question `authority`.
-
-If everyone was to wake up and realize that it is only an imaginary construct, and that by acting complicitly with it they give it its ability to cause harm, it could simply go away.

+## Objective Morality
+
+Everyone is allowed to do whatever they'd like ***if not causing harm to others***.
+
+This means that you may not:
+
+- **murder** : *theft of life*
+- **assault** : *theft of health, well-being, or vitality*
+- **rape** : *theft of sexual choice or association*
+- **steal** : *theft of property*
+- **coerce** : *theft of free will*
+- **lie** : *theft of Truth*
+- **trespass** : *theft of security*
+
+Everything else is a right.
+Consent is still recommended when interacting with new individuals,
+as others may have different wishes and desires for themselves than you do for yourself.
+
+For the most part however, The Golden Rule is applicable,
+which means you should do unto others as you'd have done unto yourself.
+This promotes healthy interactions which helps all parties feel respected.
+
+## "Sovereign Citizens", State Citizenship, etc.
+
+There is no such thing as being both Sovereign and a `citizen`. It is an oxymoron.
+
+A citizen is one who is externally ruled by man's law.
+Beings who have given up their free will and follow the will of others.
+This gives legitimacy to the `state`, resulting in `statism`, a covert form of `slavery`.
+
+Sovereignty is the state of having no rulers.
+It can only be acquired by taking full responsibility for your actions,
+preventing any harm from being caused and accepting fault when it occurs.
+Natural Law is all which applies to these beings.
+
+Engaging in more paperwork with state entities only changes your relationship with them;
+there is no true opt out.
+If interested in investigating these routes, here are a few resources you may find helpful.

+Participating in these positions accumulates *bad karma* by giving up free will and acting against **Objective Morality**.

+
+### Police Encounters
+
+Do ***NOT*** talk to the `police`.
+Their `job` is to find `criminals`.
+They are allowed to *lie* in order to get a `confession`.
+If you do not want to be a `criminal`, be polite while ignoring their questions.
+
+In `traffic stops` there are 3 recommended phrases to use:
+
+1. "**I do not consent** to `search or seizure`."
+2. "Am I being `detained`?"
+3. "Am I **free** to go?"
+
+Only roll down your window enough so that your voice carries.
+When asked for your `license`, `registration`, `insurance`, etc, hold them against your window rather than handing them over so that they cannot be held `hostage`.
+
+In other situations you may need to ask:
+
+- "Do you have a `warrant`?"
+
+such as if they want to enter your `domicile`,
+in which you should **never** allow unless they have a `warrant` or become *violent*.
+At best they will find nothing, and at worst you `incriminate` yourself.
+
+The resources below show examples of this as well as proper etiquette to avoid any further suspicions.
